It sorta seems like I am pretty much the worst blogger ever.
Since the last post, a lot & not much has been going on all at the same time.

I have recently finished my official internship at Fellowship Bible Church and am now seeking/pursuing what the Lord would have me do in this next season of life. Most of my efforts and moving forward plans have much to do with paying off my student loans so that I can be debt free. This is going to be no small task but I am finding peace in recognizing God's provision in every area of my life. He has so graciously blessed me with free housing through a family at my church for the time being as I work at the restaurant and search for other opportunities. It's hard sometimes because it's easy for me to buy into the lie..."why are you still working at a restaurant when you have a college degree?" and being defined by what I do or don't do instead of my position in Christ, but I think that is precisely why He is doing it. The lesson that circumstances don't dictate the character or nature of God rather God dictates the circumstances for His glory and my good.

So I have yet to figure out what is next but I am finding peace in Christ as He becomes my lifeline and that to whom I cling.
I'm pretty moblie, here & there a lot, sleeping in different places, sometimes packing my car for the day/week but I have been realizing that none of it goes unseen or unplanned by the God who reigns over me with mercy & grace. I may never have a time like this again in my life so I am seeking to embrace it, while embracing Him, as best I can.

One thing I ask of the Lord,
this is what I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of Lord all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek Him in His temple.
**Psalm 27:4**

My prayer as I pursue Him in the pursuit of what comes "next". Regardless of situation, job or where I live, this purpose is the foundation of all of it.

May you find comfort in knowing He uses all things to reveal His love & pursue your heart deeply.

I liked your newest blog entry. It was a bit less lengthy than your last and easier to follow for your old mom.

Hope all is well down in AR and hope to see you soon.

Love, Mom xoxo
